HORRIBLE!!!! How this place has so many good reviews is mind boggling. This is a greasy spoon and not a good one either. The food is flavorless!!! And breakfast food is hard to screw up. You can just tell by the pictures that this food wasn't going to be good. The bathrooms are disgusting. The interior is dated and worn out. And the servers don't want to be there and it shows. Stay away!! read more

We got the strawberry pancake meal and the green chile skillet. Both were delicious but the pancakes were sweet so we both gravitated to the skillet which was very phenomenal. Will be back to try the Birria skillet next ! read more

The service was great. I was disappointed with the portion size of what I ordered (meat-lover's skillet), but the quality of the food is high and I would certainly like to try an omelette or burger. It's a small neighborhood breakfast and lunch diner. read more

We were in Gilbert for a family wedding recently. We were looking for a good breakfast to begin our day. We happened into The Crowned Egg after searching the internet for breakfast spots. We were welcomed by a very friendly staff! We really enjoyed the fresh brewed coffee and a delicious and substantial breakfast. I had the chorizo breakfast burrito (that also provided me with another breakfast). If we lived in the area it would be our "go to" due to the friendliness, the food and the service! read more

Decided to try out new breakfast place.. Was in the area and saw some good reviews so thought I check it out.. Nice little cozy restaurant with friendly staff... Daikys special and over all prices of the dishes were very good. Ordered the chilaquile with added carnitas (extra $2.50). I got the one with red and green sauce. When I got the dish i was little surprised to see how the chips were presented... Little bit different then way I normally get it from other places.. But the dish was very yummy.. Carnitas was very nice and tender.. Green and red sauce was very good, wish it had some little kick to it. Portion wad pretty big.. I barely finished it. Also ordered the hatch green chilli burrito but tortilla on the side instead of burrito.. Don't ask why but they accommodated which was nice. That dish was also very yummy.. Over all the food was very yummy price was very good, and services was awesome.. I definitely would come back to this place again.. read more

My wife and I decided to try this place because we've seen reviews of it on different social media platforms. Overall, I was pretty surprised by our experience here and it left me wanting to come back to try other dishes. I would say it was a little busy on the day that we went and I could see that there was a very friendly but busy waitress, working all of the tables, along with one cook. Although our waitress was busy, she was very friendly and she made some nice recommendations for our food. I decided to try their seasonal Benedict while my wife wanted to try the classic Benedict. My wife said that she was happy with her dish, but I was really happy with mine. Instead of English muffins, mine were served on two homemade biscuits. The ambience was pretty nice as far as the overall presentation of the restaurant. It kind of reminded me of just a "mom and pop" place, which is always a good thing. read more

I came here a few days ago for the first time. Didn't know what to expect. It sits next to the Albertsons and is not like an Egg n Joe or fancy place. It's just a small dive place but excellent food. I can't wait to go back for the burrito. It looks amazing I had the Texas omelette the first time and I wanted to lick the plate it was so delicious. The next time which was 2 days later, I had the hatch green Chile carnitas skillet with tortillas. And again. I wanted to lick the skillet it was so good. Definitely my new favorite place read more

We stopped here for breakfast on a Sunday morning before heading out of town. We picked this based on their awesome Yelp reviews but our experience was just average - nothing mind blowing. It is located in a small strip mall and we were able to find parking easily. We were surprised they were not very busy and there were plenty of open tables. We were seated right away and provided menus. We appreciated that they offer both breakfast and lunch options all day but we both decided to order breakfast. My wife ordered the crown omelet with red potatoes and wheat toast and asked for a side of their green hatch chile. I ordered the bacon breakfast burrito and was told it came with a side of the red sauce. It was very fast and efficient. The restaurant itself is very basic but seemed well taken care of. We did notice they had ALOT of people working and there were a few standing around because it was not busy which because of the small space felt a little weird. Our meals arrived quickly and looked good. My wife enjoyed her omelet but my breakfast burrito was just okay. Maybe we came in on an "off" day - not sure. read more

Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try for a late breakfast. Glad I did!! Service was fast, friendly and efficient. Ordering was quick and food arrived quickly. Presentation was nice. I ordered the meat-lovers skillet and it was delicious. Enough cheese to add flavor without drowning the eggs. Coffee was good and refilled almost too often (messing up my cream/sugar balance!!) - all's good. Portion size tends to the large size. The fact that this place is in a shopping plaza should not deter you from giving this place a try!! read more

The Crowned Egg - Definately a thumbs up - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Gluten free and dairy light eater. The atmosphere is very local cafe very casual. The menu did not list what is gf so I had to ask. Wait staff was really helpful on answering my questions. She didn't know if the salsas, potatoes or tortillas were gluten free. She checked for every one of them. For my gluten free and dairy light eaters. The red potatoes have a seasoning that included gluten. The huevos rancheros have tortillas which are corn. And the red salsa is gluten free. She accommodated all my changes. I ordered the huevos rancheros with carnitas. My husband got the Texas omelette. The food was decent. Everything tasted pretty bland. Nothing was too greasy or too over seasoned. It wasn't my palate. Red salsa was very mild. Beans lacked flavor. Carnitas were decent. No fatty prices or grizzle. Just lacked flavor. read more

It was a chilly Sunday morning and friends and I just got done hiking and were in the mood for breakfast, went to my yelp app and found a place. We arrived at that place I went to get on the wait list and see how long, I was standing at the hostess station for a good 5 minutes without being acknowledge so I knew this place was not meant for me, so back to the Yelp app I went and found The Crowned Egg just right down the street, I called them and learned there was no wait so off we went! After checking out the menu I knew I wanted pancakes, so I went ahead and got a pancake meal, it came with 2 eggs, which I got scrambled, some bacon and I got chocolate chip pancakes. This breakfast was just what I was craving. The eggs were just added for the protein value only I was all about the pancake. The pancake was sweet, light and fully and packed with chocolate chips, the little kid in me was so happy! If looking for a great breakfast spot go to The Crowned Egg a try! read more

This was my Mother's Day brunch choice and it was the right choice, folks. We haven't been dissatisfied here at all. Come get your seasonal churro pancakes while you can. You can't go wrong with the huevos rancheros which is a perfectly seasoned stack of goodness and flavor. And I wouldn't blame you if you went with the blueberry pancakes either. Just go, go eat. read more

The Crowned Egg - Huevos Rancheros - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I had high hopes for this place, but something happened along the way. There are high reviews, but seem to be dated. Looks like Jerry L is right on the ball: Its mind boggling. Food: The meat scramble with toast was barely edible. Cook must have dumped a pound of salt on it. $14 for a scramble is a good price, but it wasn't any good. The bacon was petrified and the potatoes undercooked. There was really nothing good about it. I could do a better job at home and I am not a good cook. Service: Almost non-existent. Empty place and still the waitress was nowhere to be seen. One coffee refill when my cup was empty for a while. Overall: Will not be coming back. There are way too many options in the area. I like trying new places to add to the rotation, so this is the downside. read more

Small cute place. Open seating. The service was quick and the food was hot and had good flavor with healthy portions. It gets a little loud but still a great place for breakfast. It was our first time eating there but we will definitely be back. Might want to get there early as it did fill up fast. read more

The Crowned Egg - Burria Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Let me start by saying that this place is a tiny little hole in the wall that I never would have discovered without yelp. There is no real waiting area except for just standing outside. It's a real diner vibe but tiny. The service is definitely a 5/5. Every single worker was kind and on top of it. Our waitress immediately brought us water and helped us get in and out since we mentioned we were in-between games and needed to get back for our sons next game. My husband and son both got basic breakfast plates which were eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns. Pretty basic but good. I got one of their summer specials which was the Birria skillet. Unfortunately the meat wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped and was definitely lacking cheese throughout the dish just the stuff on top. The potatoes weren't cut small enough so they were still pretty hard. I would definitely go back and get something simpler. It's the people here that make it worth the visit. read more

Great place! Food was tasty, friendly service... open early. Typical Mexican restaurant feel.

This little breakfast/lunch spot is definitely worth a visit!! It's in a strip mall by Albertsons so space is limited, they have done a good job of using the space. The service was great! We didn't have to wait to order and the food came out quick. We ordered the green chili pork carnitas skillet and the huevos rancheros with the pork carnitas (pictured). The huevos were perfect to order and the sauce was absolutely worth the visit alone!! The red potatoes are delicious and perfectly cooked and the carnitas taste amazing and I had plenty of pork on my plate. These two dishes were delicious and will definitely bring us back for more. Highly recommended spot for anyone looking to try somewhere new for breakfast! read more

Based on Yelp reviews in Gilbert, AZ for breakfast, my family and I decided to give this place a try. When I arrived, I was not expecting a small restaurant in a plaza area. I had trouble finding it at first because I thought it was its own building. It is located next to the Albertsons along with other little shops next door. The atmosphere had a "Ma and Pa" type feel to it. I could tell this was a local's place as most customers there were on a name basis with the staff. Some customers walked in and the staff immediately knew where they liked to sit and what they wanted off the menu. That was pretty cool. What I also enjoyed about this place is that it is family/kid friendly. On another note, I'm not sure if this is because they are a small, local business, but they seemed to be very understaffed. There were 2 waitresses and from what I noticed, 1 cook. The waitresses were not only serving tables, but they were also cleaning tables when customers left. This definitely caused a delay in seating at times as people were waiting to be seated or attended to. The waitresses definitely did the best they could with what they had, which I give them props for. Great job. As for the food, it was okay. I had the country skillet, which consisted of red potatoes, bell peppers onions, sausage pieces, topped with scrambled eggs and country gravy. I was able to substitute the eggs for egg whites. The food was very good and flavorful. It almost felt like breakfast when I was a kid and mom would cook her famous potatoes with sausage and eggs. My husband had the French toast with eggs and turkey sausage. He said everything tasted pretty good and was quite fulfilling. Keep in mind, my family and I had recently changed our eating habits to a more healthier side. With that said, I was very appreciative that this place offered healthier food options (egg whites, veggie omelettes, etc.). This place offers kid's menus, which is always a plus given we have 3 children. The kiddos ordered the Mickey Mouse pancake with eggs and either sausage or bacon. They all enjoyed every single bite that their plates were empty at the end. They loved their food that much. Overall, it was a great experience. Definitely worth a try! read more

Went once a year ago maybe. Was a ghost town but we were seated and the food was good.

Do not let the humble appearance of the outside of this place deter you. The food here is amazing!!! Louis was our server and he was excellent. We had a benedict, the green hatch burrito and a chorizo burrito. The salsa was really good too. There weren't many people there when we arrived, but when we left there were at least 8 parties waiting to get it. read more

10/10 recommend this little breakfast place I decided to go out of my comfort zone and tried the "Tropical French Toast: cream cheese and mango stuffed French toast, topped with mango and toasted coconut" It was probably the best thing I've ever had to be honest We also had things like scrambled eggs, hashbrowns and sausage links which were all pretty good as well! read more

Let me start off with saying this place is terrible, for someone who loves to try new places and have new experiences this was far from a good experience. The food was mediocre nothing special about it wouldn't go out of my way to get it and save yourself the time of driving out here if your planning on it you'd honestly be better just going to a fast food restaurant the food would be better there. The service was terrible the server had an attitude from the start and kept asking us if we were ready mind you she didn't even give us over 30 seconds before asking when passing us the menus what we wanted to drink/eat considering we hadn't even had the chance to looo at the menu she was very impatient and rude and her service is far from outstanding came here at 12pm and she was the only server very unfortunate. 0/10 for me will not ever bother coming back here again and wouldn't ever recommend it and place is cold and empty and the a/c was also dripping water on someone in my party. nothing great about this place at all I'd stay far away From here. read more

INFLATION (which is crazy high regardless of what "they" tell us) has made my wife and I VERY cautious on where we go these days. It's just FACT that going anywhere to eat is going to cost $20 a plate. The Crowned Egg, no different. The difference? You get a consistently GREAT breakfast. We've been a dozen times, and each time the staff is great, the food is awesome and the price is, under $20 a plate... We've decided that this is our go to breakfast spot. read more

My husband and I love this place! We've been to both locations and have experienced great service each time. Our favorite things to order: blueberry pancakes, huevos rancheros, and the pork skillet. Come here for the good comfort food and support this wonderful place! read more

Excellent breakfast. Very unassuming (and relatively small) place buried in a strip mall, but an outstanding breakfast. We sat down right away and my wife thought shr recognized our waitress from Mark's Cafe in Tempe, and she was right. Amber left Mark's when they closed for Covid, but she says she loves serving great food at The Crowned Egg. We reminisced with her a few minutes then we ordered per her recommendations. My wife had the Texas Omlette and I had the chiliquiles (although Amber thought the huevos ranchers might be slightly better). My wife LOVED the Texas Omlette; the carnitas and green chile were amazingly flavorful. Chiliquiles are one of my favorites, but most of the restaurants I get them from don't do a very good job - often the Tortilla chips are soggy, but not here. Crispy chips, flavorful green salsa and excellent carnitas. Outstanding breakfast, but made even better by meeting up with Amber again. read more

Pros: - The service was great and he was very helpful - The food was quick. Cons: - The flavors in the food was lacking. The green chili sauce was great but the inside of the burrito did not have much flavor. - The ambiance was a very basic dining experience which I normally do not mind, but it needs to be cleaned more thoroughly. The kitchen and tables were clean but for example, when you looked up, the fans were caked in dust. read more
